Actor Dwayne Johnson, who got his start as the smack talking, eyebrow-raising professional wrestler known as Rocky Maivia - later shortened to The Rock - is returning to the ring, reports Entertainment Weekly.

Looking just as intimidating as he did when he last laced up his big black boots seven years ago, Johnson pumped some serious energy into the Valentine's Day edition of USA's WWERaw, announcing his intention to host the sport's biggest event - Wrestlemania - in April. He also delighted fans by tossing off some his famous catch phrases ("Can you smell what the Rock is cooking?") as he dashed through a show-closing monologue.

A former University of Miami football player and once one of WWE's biggest stars, Johnson left the squared circle for the silver screen after a successful turn hosting Saturday Night Live in 2000. He began starring in action/adventure films such as The Scorpion King and Walking Tall before turning to comedic roles in The Game Plan, Get Smart and The Other Guys.
